WHO: Everyone coming to the dinner party WHAT: A dinner party to forget the snow storm WHEN: Wednesday evening WHERE: Pansy's flat RATING: Low
It had been Adrian's idea but it didn't mean it wasn't a good one. There was no way that Pansy was going back to her parent's place after she checked on the owls early this morning. Father would take care of it from there. It had been a quick trip seeing as how Pansy had absolutely no desire to get cornered by her mother with wedding plans. Pansy could take care planning her own wedding no matter what her mother believed.
Perhaps that was why Pansy jumped on the idea of a dinner party. The entire afternoon Pansy worked on throwing together a party with just the provisions she had in her flat. There was no reason to go out and no one would be open anyway. This of course lead to some creative maneuvering with both menu and decor but she had to admit, she did love the result.
Deciding against formal and fussy, Pansy instead transformed her flat into a cozy retreat against the storm raging outside the windows. Candles were lit to create soft lighting all over the flat. Warm blankets adorned all of the chairs and sofas. Intimate seating areas had been set up around the picture windows in each of the rooms that had them. Drink areas were set up in multiple rooms in the flat serving both hot and cold beverages. Sweets and biscuits were dotted around the room on refilling trays and hot nibbles steadily left the kitchen. Soft background music played in each of the rooms.
Supper would be a hearty coq au vin served in the dining room. Seating as assigned at the table mostly to keep Adrian away from Gwen as requested. Overall Pansy was quite pleased with the effect. The entire flat felt cozy and intimate which was exactly what Pansy was aiming for.
[OOC: Do not wait for an engraved invitation. (There's a blizzard on and Pansy couldn't get them printed on such short notice). If your character is the sort of person who would socialize with Pansy or would have been brought by someone who does, then this thread is for you. Feel free to hold your own IC conversations and threads or post OOC about what your character did.
The rooms open to party goers are the entry way, living room, sitting room, dining room, and a spare room set up like an office or study. Each of the rooms but the dining room has a bar, and trays with finger foods. The living room, sitting room, and study all have fire places and seating. The living room and sitting room both also have a large picture window to watch it snow outside. The study is the only room open that has a door that could be closed. The dining room has a large table fully decorated for the evening's meal. Enjoy!]
